We’ve raised $5,223 so far! 🎉 We’re making great progress toward our goal of $20,000 for Student Enrichment Activities, OPTC Events and Assemblies, Teacher Grants, and more.
As part of our Olympic View Golden Eagle Fun Run fundraiser, students are also taking part in a fun character program focused on positive traits. Today, they explored a kitchen in South Korea while learning about patience (you’re welcome 😄).
Want to see what they’re watching? Check out today’s classroom video by signing up at MyBooster.com.
This weekend, students can earn a Double Decker Frisbee by collecting a $70 donation by Monday!
Whether you donate, share your student’s page, or volunteer your time, it all helps Olympic View Elementary. Thanks so much for your support!
Here’s how you can help:
👍 Register your student at MyBooster.com. Search for “Olympic View Elementary.”
💵 Donate and share. We are aiming for each family to share with 10 people.
🎁 Earn class rewards. Our class will earn fun rewards based on how much we raise on our classroom tracker. I will keep you updated!
🎉 09/04/2026: Event Day. Our big celebration for Olympic View Golden Eagle Fun Run.
There is research that shows the more school a student misses, the harder it is for them to keep a job in the future. For each day a child misses, it takes 3 days to make it up! If your child is not sick, they should be at school. Please use the school calendar to schedule routine Dr. and dentist appointments during the breaks when possible. Be sure to call Ms. Shelley (619-656-2030) whenever your child will be absent. Also, consider asking her about an Independent Study Contract for days you miss. Your child will receive attendance credit.
Our average daily attendance goal is 96%. The first week of school, our average was 95%. Congratulations to the classrooms who met our goal!

Reporting Absences
If your child is absent, it is important to call the office to report the reason for the absence at 619-656-2030. You can leave a voicemail.
Independent Study Contracts – if your child will be absent for a non-medical reason, you can request an independent study contract from 1-14 days. If your child completes the work provided, the absences will be cleared.
Absences that are not reported will be considered unexcused. After 3 unexcused absences or tardies, you will receive a truancy letter.

Missing School Means Missing Learning!
Our school staff will be monitoring attendance closely. For students who are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school or having excessive tardies), we will schedule SART (School Attendance Review Team) meetings, make phone calls, and conduct home visits to support improved attendance.

At Olympic View, we follow a placement process that maximizes both positive academic and social experiences within the classroom. It is our commitment to place all children in an optimized learning environment where they will thrive and reach their fullest potential. Our goal is to create equitable and balanced classrooms environments that ensures the success of all students. The assignment of students to classes is a collective effort made by teachers and school administration. Decisions for class placement are student-based using the following criteria: gender ratio, range of academic levels, language proficiency, past interactions, teacher’s knowledge, and special needs of students. Due to the delicate nature of creating equitable classes, we will not make any classroom adjustments at this time.
If your child is placed in a combination class, please read THIS DOCUMENT
